Gospel music

Gospel music is a music genre in Christian music. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of gospel music varies according to culture and social context. Gospel music is composed and performed for many purposes, including aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, and as an entertainment product for the marketplace. Gospel music usually has dominant vocals (often with strong use of harmony) with Christian lyrics. Gospel music can be traced to the early 17th century, with roots in the black oral tradition. Hymns and sacred songs were repeated in a call and response fashion. Most of the churches relied on hand clapping and foot stomping as rhythmic accompaniment. Most of the singing was done a cappella. The first published use of the term ″Gospel Song" probably appeared in 1874. The original gospel songs were written and composed by authors such as George F. Root, Philip Bliss, Charles H. Gabriel, William Howard Doane, and Fanny Crosby. Gospel music publishing houses emerged. The advent of radio in the 1920s greatly increased the audience for gospel music. Following World War II, gospel music moved into major auditoriums, and gospel music concerts became quite elaborate.

Madam

Madam/ˈmædəm/, or, as French, madame/ˈmædəm/ or mə-dam', is a polite form of address for women, often contracted to ma'am/ˈmæm/. The abbreviation is "Mme" and the plural is mesdames (abbreviated Mmes). The term was borrowed from the Frenchmadame (French pronunciation:​[maˈdam]), which means "my lady".

Use as a form of address

In speaking, Madam is used in direct address when the lady's name is not known; for example: May I help you, madam? In the United States, "ma'am" is usually used, except in regions such as New England where particular ties to England still exist. Even then, "madam" tends to only be used when addressing the elderly, with "ma'am" being used for a younger woman. The male equivalent is "sir".

Christianity places a high value on the four canonical gospels, which it considers to be a revelation from God and central to its belief system. Christianity traditionally teaches that the four canonical gospels are an accurate and authoritative representation of the life of Jesus, but many scholars and historians, as well as liberal churches, note that much of that which is contained in the gospels is not historically reliable. This position however, requires a liberal view of Biblical inerrancy. For example, professor of religion Linda Woodhead notes some scholarship reinforces the claim that "the gospels' birth and resurrection narratives can be explained as attempts to fit Jesus’s life into the logic of Jewish expectation". However, New Testament scholar N. T. Wright holds firmly to the historical authenticity of the death and resurrection of Jesus, stating that of the whole Bible, this is the story with the most overwhelming historical evidence.

Togo

Togo (i/ˈtoʊɡoʊ/), officially the Togolese Republic (French:République Togolaise), is a country in West Africa bordered by Ghana to the west, Benin to the east and Burkina Faso to the north. It extends south to the Gulf of Guinea, where its capitalLomé is located. Togo covers 57,000 square kilometres (22,000sqmi), making it one of the smallest countries in Africa, with a population of approximately 7.5 million.

From the 11th to the 16th century, various tribes entered the region from all directions. From the 16th century to the 18th century, the coastal region was a major trading center for Europeans in search of slaves, earning Togo and the surrounding region the name "The Slave Coast". In 1884, Germany declared Togoland a protectorate. After World War I, rule over Togo was transferred to France. Togo gained its independence from France in 1960.

Tribute Album to Julie Akofa Akoussah

You can stream the music of my Tribute to Julie Akofa Akoussah Album for free, and if you want to know a little more about it, here's a review :
"Ribouem honors the grand dame of Togolese music, Julie Akofa Akoussah with this tribute album that started as a project that they were working on together before her passing in April 2007.
She was only 57 years old and beloved for her piercing, haunting soprano vocals. It's easy to forget how relatively young she was, since she exerted a presence on the Togolese music scene for so long. She was only 16 when she began her professional career in 1966, representing Togo at the first World Festival of Negro Arts in Dakar, Senegal and spanned five decades as a respected singer, songwriter and presenter on radio and television.

Her fourth album, Miss Perfumado, was her breakthrough hit in 1992. It sold more than 300,000 copies worldwide, and resulted in a number of tours. She released 10 albums in all.
Evora had a penchant for alcohol and cigarettes, and in later life her health began to decline. She suffered a stroke while on tour in Australia in 2008 and later underwent open heart surgery.
In September, she spoke of her sadness at having to retire, saying: "I have no strength, no energy. I want you to say to my fans: forgive me, but now I need to rest.
"I infinitely regret having to stop because of illness, I would have wanted to give more pleasure to those who have followed me for so long."
Evora was considered one of the world's greatest exponents of Morna, a form of blues considered the national music of the Cape Verde islands, a former Portuguese colony which gained independence in 1975.
The music is a testament to the country's history, including the slave trade and its physical remoteness in the Atlantic Ocean, hundreds of kilometres off Africa's west coast.
Two days of national mourning has been declared in the small island nation, with PresidentJorge Carlos Fonseca calling her "one of the major cultural references of Cape Verde".
Prime MinisterJose Maria Neves paid tribute to her "invaluable contribution to the greatness of our nation and our pride".BBC

"Ribouem honors the grand dame of Togolese music, Julie Akofa Akoussah with this tribute album that started as a project that they were working on together before her passing in April 2007.
She was only 57 years old and beloved for her piercing, haunting soprano vocals. It's easy to forget how relatively young she was, since she exerted a presence on the Togolese music scene for so long. She was only 16 when she began her professional career in 1966, representing Togo at the first World Festival of Negro Arts in Dakar, Senegal and spanned five decades as a respected singer, songwriter and presenter on radio and television.
Ribouem played all the instruments on Tribute to Julie Akofa Akoussa and asked three young female Togolese singers to sing Julie's songs. Djinadou Sylfa Fanta sang "Anyigban" in Ewe, Togo's national language. The lyrics are about desire and death, the necessity to seize the day before its too late—truly an African "Carpe Diem". She also sang "Asseye." Bakpa Séraphine sang "Mabouye" and Aguda Espoir sang "Dounia." Ribouem himself sings "Désarmement"; he includes this because Julie had performed the backing vocals on the original recording. The French lyrics are about peace and weapon control, and it was composed for a Togolese national contest on that theme around 2001. "Julie" is a song by Cameroonese composer Jo N'Doulé, sung by Ribouem in one of the 230 official Cameroonese languages. The title of the song justifies its presence on the album as Ribouem used to sing it on stage for Julie when she was alive; it is a love song dedicated to her. The songs are about everyday life, pain, suffering, joy, love...meant to speak to the heart and soul of everyday people in Togo."
